Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. is pleased to submit to the Skokie Fire Department a proposal for the refurbishment and repaint of Tower 16, One (1) - 1995 Pierce Aerial Platform, O.E.M. #E8867. The following paragraphs will describe in detail the apparatus additions and modifications proposed.

QUALIFICATIONS Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., located in Appleton, Wisconsin, is truly a leader and innovator in the fire apparatus industry. The Pierce Refurbishment Center has achieved the very same reputation for fire apparatus repair and refurbishing. Located 30 miles west of Appleton in Weyauwega, Wisconsin, the Pierce Refurbishment Center facility is dedicated exclusively to the refurbishing and repair of all makes and models of fire apparatus. Pierce Manufacturing has produced fire apparatus for over 70 years and has been refurbishing apparatus for more than 35 years.

The 37,000 square foot Refurbishment Center has 16 well-equipped bays staffed by 52 certified, highly skilled mechanics. Fabrication and refinishing is done at the main manufacturing facilities to assure our customers the same fine quality that new Pierce apparatus is famous for.

WELDING REQUIREMENTS Pierce Manufacturing follows American Welding Society D 1.1 -96 standards for structural steel welding. All aluminum welding will be done to American Welding Society and ANSI D 1.2-96 requirements for structural welding of aluminum. Flux core arc welding will use alloy rods, type 7000, American Welding Society standards A5.20-E70Tl.

ISO COMPLIANCE The manufacturer will operate a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO 9001. These standards sponsored by the "International Organization for Standardization (ISO)" specify the quality systems that will be established by the manufacturer for design, manufacture, installation and service. A copy of the certificate of compliance will be included with the bid.

SINGLE SOURCE MANUFACTURER Pierce Manufacturing is a single source apparatus manufacturer. The definition of single source is a manufacturer that designs and manufactures their products using an integrated approach, including the chassis, cab and body being fabricated and assembled on the bidders premises. The warranties relative to the chassis and body design (excluding component warranties such as engine, transmission, axles, pump, etc.) will be from a single source manufacturer and not split between manufacturer (i.e. body and chassis).

WARRANTY Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. warrants all new components and repairs to existing components to be free from defects in materials and workmanship per the enclosed warranty policy.

TERMS Payment is to be made, in full, within 30 days after completion and final acceptance at Pierce Manufacturing, Inc.

SHIPPING PRECAUTIONS The following shipping precautions must be completed before transportation of the fire department's apparatus to Pierce Manufacturing for refurbishment or repair. Failure to complete the listed items below may result in additional costs to the fire department.

All water tanks, foam tanks, pumps, all inlets and discharge plumbing, all drains, and any other plumbing are to be completely drained prior to being driven or flat-bedded.

Strip down all loose equipment unless arranged with Pierce prior to shipping in order to make the repair process easier and to eliminate the potential for lost equipment while the unit is being refurbished or repaired.

All loose or potentially loose items should be taped or strapped to ensure they do not come loose during transit.

INCOMING VEIDCLE INSPECTION The following inspections will be performed by a qualified Pierce technician(s) before any work begins. Inspections are to verify working components before disassembly, and to determine the overall condition of the truck.

o Chassis inspection and road test o Cab inspection o Body inspection o Pump inspection and test o Electrical inspection and test o Aerial inspection and test (3rd party U.L.)

Should any defects be found that are not already addressed in the proposed work, an itemized list of the defects, along with the costs to repair any additional items, will be provided to the fire department for review. Repair of any defects will be "open", pending approval. No additional work will be performed without prior approval from the fire department.

WARRANTY A separate warranty page detailing the warranty coverage will be provided with the proposal.
